Bloody Brakes?
Hi folks, I got new seals put in the front calipers last winter. I stuck them back on the other week and took it for the mot today. 1 of the calipers is still sticking? Any ideas?

sorry mate, when i mess with brakes, i use copper slip (becareful where you put it) stops things kinda getting stuck, i can see some grazed knucles come out of this. Or chop it in and get a Suzuki best of luck with it

Re: Bloody Brakes?
Check the seals are installed correctly first of all. Extend the pistons but not fully out then work them back in one at a time to see which or how many are sticking. Be carefull when pushing one back as it pushes the other ones out. You will need a thick rag as the pistons cut into ya fingers due to needing a fair bit of force. Clean the affected pistons with brake cleaner then apply a bit of brake pad lube. Good luck.
